Mike,

I knew you had a theory already. ;)

Hey, have you seen this site before? It's exactly what I was looking for. The guy has looked under the skirts of the gov't economic stats and has revised the according to what he sees as reality:

shadowstats.com

He estimates real unemployment of between 9.7% and 13.7% and inflation between 8% and 9% while the GDP growth is somewhere around -2%. That seems much more realistic to me, except for the inflation figure, which I think is still at least a point too low - maybe 3 or 4 percentage points too low.
